Fancy a drink?
Even when I was a drinking man, I was never really a cocktail fan. That Tom Cruise film was enough to put me off for life.
Special mention, of course, goes to Bucks Fizz, one of the first pop bands ever to catch my eye. Obviously the bit when the skirts came off did it for me. I was at a very impressionable age.
10. Frightened Rabbit - (Old) Old Fashioned
No Sex On The Beach or Screaming Orgasms for these guys.
9. Drugstore featuring Thom Yorke - El Presidente
Drugstore do their best to cheer Thom Yorke up with a few cocktails. It doesn't work. He still goes off and kills the president.
8. The Bluetones - Mudslide
Featuring Matt Lucas and David Walliams in the video. Presumably they were paid in vodka, Kahlua and Baileys.
7. Feist - Brandy Alexander
He's my Brandy Alexander
Always gets me into trouble
But that's another matter
Brandy Alexander
If you need further clarification of what this song's about...
Brandy Alexander
Goes down easy
6. Alannah Myles - Black Velvet
Was she most famous for this song.... or those leather chaps?
5. PJ Harvey - Kamikaze
PJ Harvey... Wallbanger?
4. The Crimea - White Russian Galaxy
The Dude's favourite beverage.
3. Jimmy Buffet - Margaritaville
Or, if you prefer, Marguerita Time by THE QUO.
One of them is spelling it wrong.
2. The Eagles - Tequila Sunrise
Perfect for a hot sunny afternoon... if you can remember what those are.
1. Rupert Holmes - Escape (The Pina Colada Song)
Come on... it had to be! I mean, if you like Pina Coladas and getting caught in the rain... if you're not into health food... if you have half a brain...
Not sure about the making love at midnight bit. I'm usually asleep by then. Obviously getting old.
If music be the drink of love... which tuneful tipple take your fancy?
The Quo?!
